Abstract: A unified presence detection and prediction platform that is privacy aware is described. The platform is receives signals from plural sensor devices that are disposed within a premises. The platform produces profiles of entities based on detected characteristics developed from relatively inexpensive and privacy-aware sensors, i.e., non-video and non-audio sensor devices. The platform using these profiles and sensor signals from relatively inexpensive and privacy-aware sensors determines specific identification and produces historical patterns. Also described are techniques that allow users (persons), when authorized, to control remote devices/systems generally without direct interaction with such systems merely by the systems detecting and in instances predicting the specific presence of an identified individual in a location within the premises.

Abstract: Described are mobile devices and methods that receive location data by a user device that is configured to perform a plurality of different control actions on one or more different remote systems/devices, receive gesture data from a sensor process the location data and the gesture data to determine a command that performs a control action and to determine a particular one of the remote systems/devices on which the command is to be performed, and cause a message that includes the determined command to the determined particular one of the remote systems/devices to perform the determined control action by the particular one of the systems/devices.
